Hi guys I have just purchased a IBU2 board to upgrade the existing king tiger module
But unfortunately the board connectors won’t fit into existing cables from the Tamiya I have purchased a modification wiring kit but can anyone advise on what is needed to wire it up correctly and is it easily done ie with connectors or soldering of wire.
Thank you

Re: Upgraded board in a Tamiya King Tiger
I have done this to my Tamiya King Tiger, I can post up some pics over the weekend.
I used a IBU2 and plugged all the tamiya connections into it, had to persuade one or two to fit nicely. I got all the features working apart from the muzzle flash, couldn't figure out how to do it.

Tankdude I do think that you and everyone else should take Herman Bix's lead and wait for our latest recruit to formally introduce him/her self to the Forum
Its just good manners after all.
